Multimedia artist at your service.

Mabuhay! I am Arielle B Cruz, an independent multimedia artist from Pasig City, the Philippines. I have been freelancing since 2005 after leaving an Information Technology company that specialises in web and mobile business applications development.

While I was in that company, I was exposed to a lot of technologies that include Flash/ActionScript programming, PHP, and MySQL. These extended my existing expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, all-around graphic design using a variety of computer applications and traditional methods, and non-linear video editing. I have since been learning Python programming, 3D modeling through Blender, and basic Linux systems administration.

In my years of freelancing, I've had the opportunity to work with people from different fields: academics, cause-oriented groups, entrepreneurs, government agencies, media and marketing outfits, and other technology professionals. My experiences working with these people are mostly positive and I am confident that I have earned their trust since many of them retain my services, return to me for new projects, and recommend me to their friends.

In my spare time, I try to expand my current skill set by studying other people's work. These studies result in the creation of new applications— like SaWALi, which is responsible for bringing you this website. I release these new applications under a permissive, copyleft license so that I can also be of service to other self-studying people.
